heaven knows, it's got to be this time

I have not long arrived back from a whirlwind weekend in Liverpool, some good friends of mine where heading off on an around the world trip and we had a gathering to say goodbye, it was so lovely to see everyone and enjoy some interesting coloured cocktails, my favourite had to be Aunt Edna's Blue Rinse, can't imagine why. 
The night was eventful to say the least, I ended up jigging to an Irish folk band, complaining about the rain, chatting with new friends and drinking in a back street pub which resembled someones living room. I also went for the most amazing but filling breakfast, to line my stomach for the evenings escapades, I'm heading back there tomorrow to do a review so keep your eyes peeled. All in all I had an exciting weekend, I had forgotten how much I had missed Liverpool and the night life has certainly improved. Not so hot on the charity shops but what do you expect from a city centre. I'm slightly excited and would definitely like to spend more time exploring what the city has to offer, someone take me to see pretty buildings, lets eat breakfast in animal themed cafes and dance in the presence of Sinbad.

This weekend has been full of sun, sounds & cider. For years I felt the less time I spent in my home town the better, but just lately I have been surrounding myself with the beautiful scenery, my wonderful friends and some cracking live music. 

We enjoyed a late lunch at the idyllic setting of the Alyn in Rossett, the fact we're both vegetarian can prove difficult as there is usually only one option on the menu but we had a choice of four mouthwatering mains.

Haloumi!

oh comely

On Saturday evening we were lucky enough  to attend the album launch for Golden Fable - A local band, who's music can only be described as unique, the breathtaking venue of St Giles stands tall over the town. With ears full of song and our bellies full of wine we headed home for what seemed to be an early night but 1am these days leave me feel rotten for a number of days to follow, I must be getting old!

I took the opportunity to get snapping today when I attend a local gig, held by one of my good friends. The vintage gems were everywhere , so it gave me the perfect chance to get chatting to new and old friends who's fashion choices should be celebrated.
